Politicians and USA's President elect Donald Trump



Following election of Donald Trump to USA Presidency Belgrade's newspaper "Danas" (Today) published a cartoon above. It depicts leading Serbian politicians.

Some of Belgrade's cafes and restaurants offered free drinks to those who knew the passwords regarding the future president of USA.

There are people who are very hopeful that finally, somebody who is a USA president would recognise what really happened in former Yugoslavia that led to civil war and much suffering. Many hope that Kosovo would not be seen as independent state but as part of Serbia it has been for many centuries.

Mr Trump is not shy to recognise jihad. Serbs do know about jihad and the horrid consequences for them. We do not know if Mr trump was informed about the pacts made between Catholic Church and Islamic leaders decades before and some since civil war in Yugoslavia on mutual cooperation. Before the pacts were signed emissaries established common ground:

a) their position regarding women (yes, the troublesome majority of people)
b) homosexuality
c) contraception.

No wonder Catholic church is sceptical of Donald Trump. He wants to make things better but as one Catholic bishop said poverty and misery is good for church. Lots of children means poverty and all sorts of problems for the states with large young populations. But young are brave and make the type of soldiers that adults do not. Some acquire wealth through wars but not necessarily children who fight in them.
